Free yourself

I first want to start off by saying that I went in to this audiobook knowing nothing. I bought the ebook but when I got a chance to listen to the audiobook. I couldn’t pass that up. I just love the cover. Let me be honest. Retellings are my thing. But I haven’t read one about Jack the Ripper. Really haven’t read to many books about the serial killer.
I haven’t read anything from this author. And damn this won’t be the last book either. I am hoping book 2 comes sooner then later. This book is so intense and spicy world came.
This is by far one of the darkest audiobooks that I have ever listened too. Yes this audiobook took me a little longer to finish. I just couldn’t and wouldn’t rush through this. Something very new to me. And I wanted every detail. I loved the world and the characters this author created. The narrators chef kiss. There was never a moment where I couldn’t stop this book.
Yes there is a lot mention of blood and death and sexual assault.
But if this darkenesss is your cup of tea. I highly recommend this book/audiobook.

Oh my god. This book was absolutely screwed, in the best way possible. Two days on from finishing it and I am still trying to wrap my head around everything that occurred. The writing was beautiful, the character development was impeccable, the storyline. Just, shut up. I ✨𝑐𝑎𝑛’𝑡 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛✨ I loved it so much. Did I know what was going to happen? I had an inkling, but the way it evolved and erupted was just absolute perfection. This baby was dark. Like 𝘿𝘼𝙍𝙆, and yet still so beautiful. The story itself is a standalone, but I need more. In any form I can get it.

But, oh my 𝑔𝑜𝑑. The story itself was absolute gold, and the narration just brought it to life. I can still feel the slither of his voice on my skin. The whisper in the dark. There was a quality to the narrative that immersed me in a way I’ve never experienced. I wouldn’t call it the full cinematic experience that some novels have, but the little sound effects made the whole experience enthralling. 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘥. An absolutely phenomenal job to the narrators @katrina_the_narrator & @wmadisonvox

One of best audiobooks

What a mindf*ck this book was! The author had me thinking one thing for more than half the book then all of a sudden, it hit me like a Mack truck. I was wrong the whole time, and I was blownnnn away at how twisted this story really was. It was dark and gritty, and the author did such an amazing job describing everything. I was fully immersed. Even more so because I was listening to the audio book and reading the physical book at the same time! It was intense. The narrators did such an amazing job bringing this world alive, and it was amazing with all the sound effects. I fell in love with the characters and truly began caring about them. There were points in the book that were so creepy, and in the audiobook they added sound effects of boots crunching, doors opening, creepy music. It was freaking great and I just want everyone to hurry up and read this book!

my favorite narration to date

This dark romance is also very much a horror. There is suspense, murder, gore, and stalking. The author really embraces the dark aspects of the story without any sugar coating, and I love how it all wrapped up.
The dual narration was so well done. I'll never understand how narrators can sound like entirely different people for different perspectives, they excelled at it in this one. This is the first audio I've listened to with sound effects and it really added to the experience, especially as someone who imagines scenes playing in my mind as I read and listen to books. Definitely a favorite audio experience for me!

Will leave you breathless

There aren't words to describe my feelings over this audiobook, but I'll try.

The narration is perfection, the storyline is gripping and the finale...chef's kiss.

I'm absolutely obsessed with this audiobook and C. Herbert is now a one-click author for me.
